Hi and happy Thursday. I've been having a play with some Decoart paints, Andy Skinner stencils, and Seth Apter stamps and dies, to make another journal cover.
I started with lots of DecoArt paints and a brayer.
Then added lots of black and red through pipettes and spritzed with water.
And mopped up with a piece of card - I'll be using this later.
Time for some stamping and stencilling now. I've used Andy's skull, lots of PaperArtsy stamps, and a white pen.
I used the mop up sheet as the top piece of my Seth die cuts. The smaller ones reminded me of microscope slides, so...
I stamped some slides and dribbled lots of glue around the edges and inked over with red.
The 'coffin' shape has been stamped and tripple embossed then aged with antiquing cream.
I'm entering this into the following challenges.
Dream In Darkness - anything dark or weird
Try It On Tuesday - anything messy, and
Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge - use your favourite tool - it has to be my white pen.
This has been great fun (and messy) to make. Have a great week, and thanks very much for looking x
Hello and Happy Sunday. So, I've got just under an hour to enter my piece into this fortnights PaperArtsy challenge. As we're having a new roof put onto my craft room (conservatory) I'm now crafting in the garage, and just grab a few minutes where I can as we have lots of builder coming and going. So excuses made for my lateness, here's my piece.
I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I definitely wanted to join in the die cuts challenge, so I just pulled out lots of circles and background stamps and Fresco's in blues, greens, and greys.
I though I would do an 8x8 piece, but when I saw how many stamps I had out I decided to go 12x12. This is a first for me, I've never gone this big before!
The die cuts are all Seth Apter dies, and it's their first time out of the packet. I must admit I really like them, they are different to any of my other dies.
These are some of my very 1st Paper Artsy stamps, and I still love them.
Right I need to go now and link this up! Thanks very much for looking, and have a great week x
